Yearwith the ‘Kids Were Here” project is justpassing. I hadsome doubts andthought aboutjoining , because theyearis a long time. Now I knowthatI will try tocontinuethis projectuntilwhen mychild “leave the nest“. For me it was a timefor reflection,learning, and …fun.I took more than48 photos. The culminationof our work/I am thinking ofallthose involvedin the project/ is a exhibition, whichwill be open from10.05.2014, in the “Mamy Cafe” in Cracow. Oneof myphotosalsowill beon this exposition. You want toseewhich? Just stop by. You are very welcome.

I was thinking aboutthe photo session with someone, who is“slightly” older than the19–month-old baby.I metMarlene half a year ago andnow I justinvited herto cooperate.Being on theoutdoors photo session with heris not onlya pleasurebut alsoa uniqueunderstandingof my and her expectations.

It is marchand with it the winter is back.This is the firstsnow from december, which was a weatheranomalyin this partof Norway. We already started toenjoy thewarm and sunny days. We were feelingspring in the air,until thisweekend, when thesnowy winter came back.

There wassnow storm, but we managed to “jump out” for a whileto get some fresh air andadmire thewhite landscapes. Although it iscold witha calendar springjust around the corner…

Another month had passed. The time flies extremelyfast and we can see it onour children! Not so longago ourson couldnotreacheddrawerin thekitchen and now I do not knowwhen he started to sniff there. It‘s about time to look aroundthe house andmovedangerous objectsonhigher levels. I I don’t even know when the box with my decorative ribbons landed on the floor. Andtapes? Unfortunately,almost allhave been destroyed . Looking atthis all,from a different perspective I can say,I am so happy that our son is healthy and growing fast 🙂

Todaywe went to looking for a summersheat andsun, butunfortunatelywe foundonly acold wind. Weather inTrondheimdoes notspoilus lately. We had some warmdays, but only few! We missthe warm rays of the sun, a warm grass, on which we could fooling around, asplashingin the watertocool of….Where are yousummer?

One of our favoriteways ofspending timetogetherwith my child, are hiking in thesurrounding forestsandrocks.The moment, whenwe sit down by the fjord gives me the feeling of meditations .View of waveshitting therocksand thesound of flowing waterrelaxesme a lot. Listening tothe sounds of naturetruly makes me relaxed! It calms me down. As you will see, our sonprobablyalsofelt it. He stared at theseaalmostmotionless,and of course, Itook advantage of that moment to take a pictures.

In our “magical” place we can sometimesfindanglers, but we are usually lucky to be there alone. Thennothingand no onedisturbsour moment of peace . This is the best way torest, not onlyfor the mind but also for the body. I hope You will find that feeling in my images?!

Like this:

Doors,gatesare thearchitectural elements,that I liketo photograph. For me,it is a symbolof mystery.Standing in front ofthem,I wonder what is hiddenbehind them?! What kind of peoplelive here? Looking at thecomponents, such as door handle, knocker, doorbellorthehinges, I wonder how they sounds?Will theysqueaklike in a horror movie, or will they open gentlyand inviteme in? Unfortunately,I don’t havemuchtime to think. Mymodelcan’tstay at one place for, alonger time.

The only time I can spend on thinking is in the evening, but then I can do it by just looking on thepictures.

CurrentlyI am taking partin the annualproject, which requiresto makefour picturesper month.Images shouldshow theevidence of my son’s path . The projectwill involve users from polish forum “Dziecko w Obiektywie”.My friend, bloggerandpassionatephotographer (http://wikimaksija.blogspot.no/) posted on the side the quotebyJudeWood: “In the the moment is is easy to get frustrated with all the mess and clutter that results from living with children. This set reminds me how quickly it will all pass. One day the toys will be in totes no longer played with. I will miss this. I’m reminded to slow down. To not stress about it. My happiness is not dependant upon everything put back into place and a neat and tidy home. One day we will have a wonderful reminder. Evidence left behind written upon our hearts and minds of our children. Photographs that will bring us back to this very day, when our kids were here.”

Myfriend inspired me to make those images, by showing methis book “I can’t wait …” :DavideCali, SergeBloch. It is a veryshortbook, consisting mainly ofsimple, but meaningfulimages. It presentsvarious types ofexpectationin our lifes.This is asequence of events,happy and sad, expected andunexpected. It showsthatnotonly adults, but also children are waiting for something or someone, from an early age. I truly recommend that book!
